When hard time comes, God teaches


Here, there is a father and a son went fishing. Father does not catch fish and just give it to his son. Rather, he teaches the son how to catch the fish. The point is that our Father in Heaven teaches us during the hard time!!!









LEt's look at Hebrews 12:6-11 " My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord discilines those He loves, and He punishes everyone He accepts as a son." Endure hardship as disciline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplined us for our good, that we may share in His holiness. No discipline seems pleasent at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it." This is how my friend advised: "When hard time comes, we need to say: "God, what do You want to teach me?" And then wait.Praise God.
